Every member of the different teams throughout the process of moving house was absolutely excellent in personal rapport, professionalism and efficiency. The initial process that was explained was honoured to the letter and nothing was too much trouble. We were particularly impressed by how accessible via emails and direct line telephone all team members were.

An excellent experience from start to finish

We had a negative experience with our solicitors in our last move so were hesitant this time around. Lyons Bowe were recommended to us by our estate agents and we felt they were reasonably priced. Through the app and mostly email communication we felt supported throughout the whole process with Alex particularly keeping us up to date and always chasing the progress for us especially when there were a few issues mid point. He was brilliant! The service was professional, friendly and felt really easy. We would definitely use Lyons Bowe again in the future. Thank you!

A perfect service!

This has been by far the best conveyancing experience I have ever had. Lucinda has been kind, informative, professional and approachable - always relying quickly to my queries.
I very much appreciate that I was allocated to Lucinda: she has made a potentially very stressful experience as smooth as possible. Thank you!

Very quick service to have my identity confirmed for land registry requirements. Solicitor had to verify my identity which took 5 minutes. Not too complicated.

One star is too many!

Horrendous! The worst communication I’ve ever experienced, you get moved from one person to another dependant on the stage of the sale so no continuity, and if you run into problems with others in the chain this firm do absolutely nothing to support you or help move things along, questions are consistently ignored, when discussing poor communication with the CEO he was the most patronising man I’ve ever spoken to in my life, he told me that he encourages his staff not to reply to emails because they have better things to do than spend time placating clients, and he reprimanded me for referring to myself as a paying customer because ‘we are providing you with a legal service not a product’ absolutely would never ever touch this firm again, they don’t deserve the money they’ve had from us.

Clarity from Complexity: just what every first time buyer needs

I am a first time buyer - So like many others, I asked the advice from friends and family. The consistent compliant and repeated warning was in regard to solicitors. The phrase 'make sure you have a good one' was echoed, again and again. This made me rather nervous when thinking about who to choose and its potential impact on my purchase. However, after 8 weeks with Lyon Bowe, and under the support and guidance of Lauren Cray, I found that all my fear and apprehension was completely baseless. Lauren, and the wider organisation were patient to my numerous questions and concerns. The application and information management was first class, and made the process transparent. Lauren was always available, and very helpfully in guiding me through the process. If you are reading this, and are in the same position as I was 8-10 weeks ago, then I would heartily recommend you put your trust (and money) into Lyons Bowe - You will not be disappointed.

Great experience, responsive, transparent and helpful - recommended

The people we worked with here were really excellent. They were available when we needed them and we felt like we were in good hands throughout the process of remortgaging one property and purchasing another.
They called out things that should be brought to our attention and everything worked very smoothly!

If there is a next time, we will certainly use the team again and I would recommend them!
(at the moment, I can't even imagine moving another time :D )

I can highly recommend Lyons Bowe who acted for us in a conveyancing capacity. From our first communication to the completion of our house sale and purchase they kept us informed throughout every step. They are completely professional, friendly and always on hand either via email or phone. Nothing was too much trouble. I would 100% recommend Lyons Bowe and would not hesitate to use them again.

About this branch

Description

When we set up Lyons Bowe in 2014, we were driven by a mix of frustration and desire. Frustration at the number of firms that didn’t share the values that we felt were most important and our desire to give clients the kind of service that you told us you wanted. Our core values underpin our entire service and lie at the heart of everything we offer. As a modern law firm, we pride ourselves on representing these core values – both in what we do and how we do it.
